A Modern Power Grid

WIRES recently applauded the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) decision to proceed on Grid Resiliency, asserting that a robust transmission grid offers resource diversity and operational flexibility that is critically important to prevent, mitigate and recover from service disruptions.

A Modern Power Grid

Operational Excellence

ITC’s operational excellence continues as it recorded a .5 incident rate in 2017 compared to the EEI average of 1.5. The lost work day rate at .15 was also considerably lower than the EEI average of .45.

Operational Excellence

Community Approach

ITC partnered with the Michigan Science Center to host a special Arbor Day program for students throughout Michigan. The program will highlight the museum’s new ECHO Distance Learning Program that uses video conferencing to connect classrooms to a museum educator in real time.

In a decision that will reduce impediments for wind energy development in Iowa and Minnesota, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved a cost allocation proposal from ITC Midwest LLC (ITC Midwest) for connecting generators to the electric grid. The decision makes it easier and reduces a cost barrier for generators -- including wind energy developers -- to connect to the high- voltage electric transmission system operated by ITC Midwest in Iowa and Minnesota.

In a joint application made with the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (Midwest ISO) on April 4, 2008, ITC Midwest proposed that it provide 100 percent repayment to generators for the network upgrades needed to reliably interconnect the generators to the ITC Midwest transmission system. Connection to the grid is necessary for generators to sell energy to customers located on the system.
Previously, generators interconnecting to the ITC Midwest system were required to ultimately bear half the costs of most network upgrades along with other costs of interconnection. Under the newly-approved policy, generators will be fully reimbursed for the costs of network upgrades necessary to enable their interconnection with the ITC Midwest system, provided the generators meet certain eligibility requirements.

FERC approved the application on August 7, 2008, giving it an effective date of December 20, 2007. That is the date that ITC Midwest acquired the electric transmission system from Alliant Energy's Interstate Power and Light Co. subsidiary.

"We are very pleased with the decision and FERC's continued support of competitive open markets," said Doug Collins, ITC Midwest executive director. "The decision is consistent with FERC's direction to invest in the nation's
electric transmission system to improve reliability and encourage open access to the grid. Given our strong wind profile in Minnesota and Iowa, this decision further encourages development of renewable electricity sources in the ITC Midwest service area."

The decision can be found in FERC Docket No. ER08-796-000 and ER08-796-001 and can be accessed at FERC's website at http://www.ferc.gov .
